i'd like to hear this question answered....
someone?

i ended up putting all my code into a blog post so then it has comments section 

hmmm. ok. tnx.
but it is not the way i wanted it.
;-)

describe what you want specificly

Hi Nickolay

i have made several custom pages. (admin > pages&menus > main menu > add item)

so far so good.
but i would like to incorporate the newsfeed ( the possibility of adding comments by visitors) at the bottom of some of my custom pages. just like one sees in blogs...

i know that i could use the blog feature (plugin) but prefereably not in my case because these custom pages are stable en fixed and need to show up in the menu at all times.

these custom pages are ("why this site" etc....)
see also printscreen. at the bottom you see code i tried to insert but without succes.

* bump * nobody can help?

You can do this with a core hack like this in file \ow_system_plugins\base\controllers\static_document.php (actually you can move the same solution to custom plugin Event handler that uses OW_EventManager::ON_AFTER_DOCUMENT_RENDER to modify OW::getResponse()->getMarkup()):

Replacing line:

$this->assign('content', $language->text('base', "local_page_content_{$document->getKey()}"));

With:

// comments hack

$content = $language->text('base', "local_page_content_{$document->getKey()}");

if(($pos = strpos($content, '{comments}')) !== false) {

    $cmpParams = new BASE_CommentsParams('base', 'static-page');

    $cmpParams->setEntityId(substr($document->getKey(), 5));

    $comments = new BASE_CMP_Comments($cmpParams);

    $comments = $comments->render();

    $content = substr_replace($content, $comments, $pos, 10);

}

$this->assign('content', $content);

This will replace {comments} text in documents where you want to show comments.

RubenB,

Try  Nickolay's solution and see whether it works for you or not.

The best and right solution will be building a plugin responsible for your custom pages.

It is important to understand that comments ( wall widget)  can't exist all by themselves. They are always attached to certain content ($post): blogs, photos and etc. This content in turn should have an action described within the source code: comment blog, comment photo and etc.

Custom pages are very simple static documents. They don't have any .php functionality behind. They don't have any actions assigned to them. As a result you can't add comments component to them. System simply won't understand where those comments should go, where they should be stored, how to displayed them.

So the ideal solution will be to  develop a plugin that will:

1. create new custom page for you.
2. content of this page should be programatically designed. So let's say the text " About us...what we do" should be added not as text but as certain post ( like event, blog, photo, link).
3. have authorization methods .
4.  have attached wall component.

The main complex task is creating a fully functional plugin that can handle posts.

Attaching the component step itself is quite simple. To add the component you must modify controllers/controller_name.php file of your plugin:

$allow_comments = true;

$cmpParams = new BASE_CommentsParams('lpluginkeyhere', 'post-namehere);
  $cmpParams->setDisplayType(BASE_CommentsParams::DISPLAY_TYPE_BOTTOM_FORM_WITH_FULL_LIST);

$this->addComponent('comments', new BASE_CMP_Comments($cmpParams));


You must also include {$comments} into views/controllers/controllername_functionname.html file.

You can take "Blogs" plugin you mentioned as an example.
Here is the piece of code from controllers/view.php of this plugin:

$allow_comments = true;
        if ( $post->authorId != OW::getUser()->getId() && !OW::getUser()->isAuthorized('postname') )
        {
            $eventParams = array(
                'action' => 'blogs_comment_blog_posts',
                'ownerId' => $post->authorId,
                'viewerId' => OW::getUser()->getId()
            );
 
            try
            {
                OW::getEventManager()->getInstance()->call('privacy_check_permission', $eventParams);
            }
            catch ( RedirectException $ex )
            {
                $allow_comments = false;
            }
        }
        /* */
 
        // additional components
        $cmpParams = new BASE_CommentsParams('blogs', 'blog-post');
        $cmpParams->setEntityId($post->getId())
            ->setOwnerId($post->getAuthorId())
            ->setDisplayType(BASE_CommentsParams::DISPLAY_TYPE_BOTTOM_FORM_WITH_FULL_LIST)
            ->setAddComment($allow_comments);
 
        $this->addComponent('comments', new BASE_CMP_Comments($cmpParams));

I think we also need to set permission to add comments in install.php page

$authorization = OW::getAuthorization();
$groupName = 'plugin_key';
$authorization->addGroup($groupName);
$authorization->addAction($groupName, 'add_comment');

The method for adding wall comments to a custom cookie clicker page depends on the specific platform or website you're using.
